Things only went from bad to worse for Kaye Adams last night as she was the first celebrity to leave Strictly Come Dancing 2022.
The Loose Women presenter and her professional dance partner, Kai Widdrington, 27, found themselves in the first dreaded dance-off against singer Matt Goss and Nadiya Bychkova. They performed their Charleston to Music! Music! Music! by Dorothy Provine, while Matt and dance partner Nadiya then performed their Samba to Night Fever by the Bee Gees.
After both the couples had danced a second time, the judging panel delivered their verdicts. But the competition came to a quick end for Kaye and Kai as judges Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Craig Revel Horwood voted to keep the Bros star in the competition for another week instead.

But just hours after, Kaye's evening went from bad to worse as she shared an awkward fan encounter back at her hotel. Posting to Twitter, she wrote: "Just ordered room service in my hotel. The nice lady who brought it asked me ‘any idea who went out of @bbcstrictly tonight?’"
Kaye delivered the kicked as she added: "I said ‘me’. Awkward silence."
But her fans were quick to support her and replied with comments of appreciation for her short time on the BBC dance show. Gary said: "You were better than the team who stayed in Kaye in my opinion, well done for taking part."
Another user said: "You did so well giving it a go. Congratulations." Meanwhile, Gillian said: "Aw, it’s a shame. I guess everyone wants to stay as long as possible, but at least you got to experience the training, the glam, the friendships and, silver lining, you don’t have to do a rhumba."
Kaye went on to post a video this morning, reflecting on her time at Strictly. She said that she was "gutted" over being voted out.
The 59-year-old said: "I'm gutted at myself and I panicked in the dance off. I just panicked.
"I've seen a few comments saying I was like a rabbit in the headlights, and they're right. I was. That was really annoying. Kai tried so hard to say 'come on we can do this'. And I just wasn't able to do that.
"So, I do regret that. But I don't regret signing up for Strictly despite my early exit. I've learned so many things and met so many wonderful people that I will definitely come out of this stronger."
